It was winter in the afternoon, I was walking thinking of myself, up ahead in the distance I saw a woman walking impatiently from one side to the other, when I was near enough I could see that she was a splendid tall-thin woman in a stretch red dress: “what a beautiful woman” I said to myself, I continued walking until our sights crossed, then I could see her face clearly, she was a white woman, with long dark curly hair, little dark eyes with a special brightness, there was mystery behind them, cheekbones and chin little marked gave her face a touch of distinction… I rather stopped my walking and stared directly into her eyes, to my anxiety she stopped too and smiled to me… God what a smile! Just the way she can, my heart started beating fast and hard, I know I was in trouble, I know it now, her smile was dedicated, opened, frankly, roguish, full of life, pleased and satisfied…
- Do you have fire? She asked with a familiar voice which was the limit to me.
My mind started to look for a excuse to get out of the reality: “this is not real, you are dreaming” I said to myself, but no the question repeated was there bringing me into reality and suffering… I knew that voice for years, softly, little deep, sexy, it was perfect and irresistible. In automatic almost dreaming I looked for in my pockets, to my surprise, as I seldom smoke, I found a match box, immediately with shaky hands I lightened her cigarette, and then I looked her lips, they were not voluptuous, but still attractive, they just gave a little sign of her incredible power behind her red-pale color…
- So where are you going alone with this cold? Asked with an innocence air
- I just wanted to take a walk and get rid of the cold… and you, are you waiting for someone?
- That’s up to you… why you don’t invite me a drink?
From that moment on I really enjoyed this “sudden” date, a date that could be just by the destiny prepared, of course I accepted the offer and we walk ahead to a bar two blocks ahead… during the walking I started to feel the need to give her an embrace, It was incredible I am very cautious in such situations; but this time was different I hardly recognize myself by the side of the mystery woman, I felt attracted to her from the very first moment, and being near her was too much to bear, she had a magnet power over me, so I just flow like the rain in the river, not objecting anything just be and not at the same time…
Once in the bar we sat face to face looking into each other’s eyes, we drink to ourselves and smiled to each other just like to old friends that were long time separated, and so we kept ourselves just enjoying the happiness in the face of the other one…
- So what’s your name? She asked finally
- I am Henry, and without knowing exactly why I asked: and you, do you have a name?
- Well many I would say, but you can call me Theresa
- Tell me what were you looking for in the park?, cause you seemed to be very nervous, why did you stop your walking when I came near?
- Oh boy! You have a boy face Henry, didn’t you know that? You must know that I’m always in search of something, everybody does, don’t you think? Just like the song, “everybody is looking for a reason to live…” jaa jaaa I do also, regarding your second question – declared with a special brightness in her face- why not? My dear boy it is always me who decides…
Not giving too much attention to her answer I just concentrated to drink at all her image completely, cause she was a dream to me, a dream that everybody wants to live at least once in life, feel live and happy in the arms of someone that encompass life in one single moment, maybe short, but intensive in all it’s magnitude…
We continue chatting for a while, sometimes she laughed out loud, spreading life all around, her voice sounded clear and strong in my ears, she moved her arms and hands fast and from one side to the other her presence was hypnotizing for me, to be honest I got scared of this, my empathy for her was too good to be real, but at last I thought I was in the right site with the right person, maybe for unique time in life…
Suddenly we came to silence, just looking in each other into the eyes, there are some things that are not easy to put in words, others do not need more complications… she came to me and kissed me, it was so softly and harmonic that I felt dizziness, how long it lasted? I do not have idea, I was outside of the world, I just simply let myself be lead by the executioner, I was the victim of the offering, I was by the best one of the executioners, no one kissed me the way she did, and I doubt someone can do like she, it was literally a matter of other world… she didn’t hesitate knew how and where to take me.. ¡what a wonderful kiss! There are trips that one’s enjoys all the road, this one was one of the kind, the destiny could not be other one than heaven itself.
What happened next it is not so clear in my mind, I just remember that I was recovering myself of being with her, I didn’t know where I was, I felt weak and tired, my mind was heavy and I hardly could take a look around… my lover was smiling with satisfaction near to me, the same smile which she used to receive me and the same one she was using to say goodbye to me, it that very moment I did realize who she was, she started to laugh out loud and I tried to escape of the terrible scene and sound, useless…my legs and arms didn’t not response, I imagined my heart beating, but it did not help, her laugh still resounded in my ears announcing me the end of the pleasure that consumed my existence and pulled out my life to my unbelievable perplexity.
